China is Treating Africa The Same Way European Colonists Did
By Panos Mourdoukoutas Forbes The reason China is in Africa is simple; to exploit the people and take their resources.

The Decline and Fall of the American Empire

Political Naïveté (or what are we to do about Maoism)
By Aragorn Anarchist Library One of the reasons that anarchism has become a popular political perspective is because in many contexts (for instance mass mobilizations or broad direct action campaigns) we seem open, friendly, and nonsectarian.

In a divided U.S., therapists treating anxiety are hearing the same name over and over: Donald Trump
I am generally not one that buys into the usual “our culture is plagued by an excess of decadence” theme that is a favorite of many on the Right. But if I were to make a case that we are indeed in a Kali Yuga moment, this might […]

Centrist Dems begin arguing against far-left agenda as 2020 play
It’s interesting how the neconservative/neoliberal political establishment is being challenged by the neo-Nixonian Trumpians from the right, and by the neo-Roosevetlians like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez from the left. If these insurgencies continue, the power elite will mostly certainly move to coopt them, which they have already done in […]

“They interfered in our election!” -Power Elite Crybabies
